Grant Shapps replaces Suella Braverman as Home Secretary after withering attack on Liz Truss - reports
Suella Braverman resigned from her post earlier on Wednesday afternoon - becoming one of the country's shortest ever serving Home Secretaries. She said she had resigned after sending an email with confidential government business from her personal account.
"The business of government relies upon people accepting responsibility for their mistakes. Pretending we haven't made mistakes, carrying on as if everyone can't see that we have made them, and hoping that things will magically come right is not serious politics. I have made a mistake; I accept responsibility; I resign."
She added: "It is obvious to everyone that we are going through a tumultous time. I have concerns about the direction of this government. Not only have we broken key pledges that were promised to our voters, but I have had serious concerns about this Government's commitment to honouring manifesto commitments, such as reducing overall migration numbers and stopping illegal migration, particuarly the dangerous small boats crossings.
